I did not know that Liza worked at WRCW back in the 80s.  It's cool that she finally became Station Manager when the character reappeared in the 90s.  Was it even acknowledged that she was previously employed at WRCW?  I don't remember that being the case.

I take it back, Jonathan..  I watched clips from a few episodes of that era yesterday. When the story began, it looks like Marcy Walker's Liza was doing some kind of internship for the news at WRCW, and was drafted to assist Cliff when he stepped in to do their medical segments. 

 

By the time Walker left, Liza was working exclusively for Cliff. When Alice Haining took over, Liza was always behind his medical office desk at the hospital - sometimes flirting with Cliff or taunting nu-Nina. There's no clear point I could find where she said, "I'm changing jobs" - she just seemed to follow Cliff around, lol...

Still searching for exact air dates for Alice, but I stumbled across two clips I'd never seen.

The first is of Tony, Liza, Greg and Jenny hanging out, close to the accident (and just over three months before Marcy started on Santa Barbara):

The second is Liza letting Tony know that it's Jenny, not Greg, who got in the accident (mid-August, apparently):

 

Oh, and now I've found Alice's first day (Monday, September 24 -- Marcy started on SB on Friday, September 28)

That last scene featured Candy Brown.  (I had thought that she was played by Donna Bullock, but I am evidently wrong.)

 

That summer, Richard Shobert came to where I was with the actress who played Hillary.    He asked the audience if they preferred Tom with Erica, Brooke, or Donna.   None of the three got an overwhelming majority.   He then asked who they would love to see him in a romantic location.   The audience replied Candy.   Mr. Shoberg said that he was going to let the producers know of her popularity.

    • Another time when some fans have an idea that the show is very unlikely to share. LOL! Exception for last year when they *almost* did off Ava. But, then, does almost count? This version of Love2Hate Drew is not going anywhere. Since Frank is not going to authorize a murder or killing there can't be a mystery whodunnit because it's not getting dun.  Edit to add: IMO, of course. I'm much more interested in whether we are getting Dark Michael?
    • Yeah but what will happen to Gilberta
    • No one asked for this, just like no one asked for the Little House reboot.
    •   you made me laugh.  They haven't found a network for this potential reboot but yeah. GreatAmericanFamily/Pureflix is where producers go who feel that Hallmark is too diverse.
    • Oh? Novels you say? Intriguing. Some would say the header might have been a sign it could be a bad episode.     I don't think I was as bored as everyone else with this episode, but I'll see how I feel after a rewatch.   Heck, the actor playing Tomas even showed up and seem more comfortable. Actually so did the actor playing Derek.
    • High praise.   At last...?   *cough*CVE*cough*
    • I had to stop watching early last week because I could not tolerate another interminable scene of Genie Francis valiantly attempting to keep pace opposite a disillusioned and confused Maurice Benard. Nevermind that the scenes largely consisted of Laura kissing the ring for some godforsaken reason, how is his performance acceptable? He’s painful to watch.
    • Apparently Jake Tapper was supposed to be on Jimmy Kimmel tonight to pimp his book of lies. That appearance was canceled. https://latenighter.com/news/jimmy-kimmel-live-cancels-monday-night-taping/
    • I was obsessed with the original Party of Five, it used to be one of my  favorite primetime soaps.  In my mind, Neve Campbell is "the star of Party of Five" - I've never seen the Scream movies. So I watched the reboot with great attention. I kept comparing and contrasting each reboot sibling with the original.  Lacey Chabert's character in the original was a precocious child who played the violin.  Her counterpart in the reboot was also smart but she danced. Not quite the same.  Neve Campbell's teen character in the original was a moody student, and her teen counterpart in the reboot became politically active and tried to help other teens that had immigration issues.  Etc.   I knew all the secondary characters in the original, and kept waiting to see if they'd have counterparts in the reboot. Some of that compare/contrast stuff was distracting to me at first, but ... eventually I realized that the reboot was a completely different show, and I came to embrace it for what it was, and let go of my comparisons.  I felt that the reboot existed as its own separate identity, and there was no need to be familiar with the original at all.  Other than the ages of the five siblings and the restaurant, the reboot had very little in common with the original. The reboot was a good show by itself and I liked it, and was disappointed that it was cancelled.
    • When he returned  to DAYS in 1991 it was at the behest of Deidre Hall wanting the two of them to make the DAYS scene together again & they both got preferential billing, too, in the closing credits. They did the Mexican story first with Bo & Carly and with John & Isabella & also Lawrence & the actress who would much later play Gladys on GH.  After that they did this amazing story Marlena loved 2 men but society would not allow it. I have always felt that Deidre deserved an Emmy for that particular story.
